How Lucky Acquired 196 Crypto Casino Users in 30 Days with Blockchain-Ads

User Acquisition
Lucky is a crypto-native online casino built for players who prioritise fast payouts and frictionless deposit experiences. The platform accepts cryptocurrency and positions itself directly against traditional casinos with slow withdrawal processes and opaque payout mechanics. Lucky targets crypto-active adults across English-speaking markets looking for a licensed, high-performance gaming alternative.
A note on attribution: Lucky's paid acquisition runs through a network of specialist affiliate partners. Multiple Lucky-aligned affiliates operate independent campaigns on Blockchain-Ads, each with its own creative, audience, and geo focus. This case study documents one of those affiliate-managed campaigns. It is presented as representative of the kind of result Blockchain-Ads enables for Lucky-aligned advertisers, not as a single Lucky corporate campaign. Results across affiliate partners vary based on segment focus and creative discipline.
Lucky needed to acquire crypto-native casino users across competitive English-speaking markets where mainstream advertising platforms restrict iGaming inventory and generic display networks cannot identify users with active crypto wallets. Four obstacles defined what that required:
Mainstream advertising platforms restrict crypto-casino inventory in the US, Canada, and UK, cutting off Lucky from its core acquisition markets through standard channels. Lucky needed a network that could reach crypto-wallet holders across exactly these geos with iGaming-specific inventory and the publisher depth to deliver at scale across nine English-speaking markets simultaneously. Blockchain-Ads provided that through four capabilities:
Display launched across all nine markets simultaneously. Three creative angles ran in parallel to identify the strongest message for a crypto-native casino audience. The pain-point angle asked "Tired of slow payout casinos?" The positioning angle led with "Built for crypto." The objection-removal angle stated "No withdrawal games." All three ran with a consistent green and gold visual identity and a direct Join Now call to action. Early data identified click distribution across markets and flagged which angles drove the strongest engagement.
Spend was concentrated toward the markets and placements returning the highest click-through rates. The pain-point and objection-removal creatives demonstrated stronger resonance with crypto-active users who had prior casino experience. The "Built for crypto" positioning angle supported brand recognition in higher-volume placements. Targeting remained manual throughout, allowing direct control over bid levels and placement selection as performance data accumulated.
The campaign maintained full-market coverage through the 30-day window while optimising bids toward the placements consistently delivering qualified users. Display inventory across crypto content and iGaming sites drove the majority of conversions. The campaign closed with 196 user acquisitions at a blended CPA of $77 across nine markets.
